Team Sassy Science tries to figure out why John Doe 21, a guy with no records, was the replacement for Roland Umber. He’s definitely not Umbery. And why is he missing part of his leg? Like, the tastiest part of his leg? Why’s that missing? Weird, huh?

We all kinda knew it was coming down to this. Will Graham was never going to be the puppy toy that Hannibal was hoping for. Not that he’s given up on this idea, necessarily. I mean, he says he’s going to quit it and Bedelia says he’d better quit it, but you can tell he still wants to tap that. It is the ultimate cat and mouse game and much more intriguing than ambushing people to eat them (though that’s fun, too.)

Will has a session with Hannibal. He looks a little ill and I wonder if he’s starting to think that if Will is so whiny about Abigail killing a man in self defense, maybe he’s not going to be the fun life partner he was hoping for. He looks a little tired and bored with Will not getting that everyone else in the world is prey and he should have some fun with it or just move on with it because he’s not going to be able to put the air back in the balloon anyway. This is kind of how my cats look at me. “Geez, it was just a squirrel. Why the sads?”
